<p>In this country, reactions to the Mueller report have been all-American beyond belief. Let's face it, when it comes to election meddling, it's been me, me, me, 24/7 here. Yes, in some fashion some set of Russians meddled in the last election campaign, whether it was, as Jared Kushner improbably claimed, “a couple of Facebook ads” or, as the Mueller report described it, “the Russian government interfer[ing]... in sweeping and systematic fashion.” But let me mention just a few of the things that (...)</p>

<p>Lerøy, the Norwegian world number two in farmed salmon, has its Sagen 2 pilot farm not far from Bergen. In a hangar are tanks of lumpfish; the little suckerfish are the farmers' ally because they are natural predators of the lakselus or salmon louse (Lepeophtheirus salmonis). Technical director Harald Sveier told me: ‘We breed around six million lumpfish a year. They allow us to cut our use of anti-parasitical chemicals by 90%.' The farm also has a prototype device called ‘the Tube', a (...)</p>

<p>Farmed salmon is Chile's biggest export after copper and fills the country's inland waters with caged fish. Twice, it's proved an environmental hazard. Kawésqar National Park, Chile's largest, covers 2.8m hectares of islands and peninsulas in southwestern Patagonia. The Socialist president Michelle Bachelet signed a decree approving its creation on 29 January, shortly before she stepped down. But the park will protect only the area above water, not the adjacent waters and their fragile (...)</p>

<p>National and international laws governing the treatment and mistreatment of animals seem to have gone about as far as they can. They can't cope with factory farming. What next? Who gets custody of the dog after a divorce? How do you assess the cost of damage done when livestock escapes? What should happen when endangered species aren't protected? In France, this kind of question is dealt with in legislation scattered through seven different legal codes (civil, penal, rural, environmental (...)</p>
